Will he always be this way? Oh! There's always something That can set you back That's the way life is. It's not sunny everyday And there are bumps on every road Toss in one more cliche Like life can be a heavy load Said life can be a heavy load now Oh! There's always something That can set you back That's the way life is Oh! There's always something That can set you back That's the way life is Oh! There's always something That can set you back That's the way life is Oh! There's always something That can set you back...
